It all comes in fizzio/coupe glasses on a tower. I also ordered an extra drink (Pink Cloud) and dessert (Lemon Crumb Cake). Everything was so good! The presentation was beautiful. The cake was moist and flavorful. The drinks weren't too strong. The service was a little slow, but the staff were friendly and attentive. Whoever designed this restaurant did a wonderful job. It's very unique and makes me feel like I'm in a cabin. The lighting is dim and sets the mood for a romantic date. There are a few areas to lounge and a spot to take pictures. They have seating available inside and outside. Bathrooms are stocked and clean. The antler chandeliers are gorgeous. But the real star of the show? The bar. The blue and neon lighting, the wood and rock beans, and the huge elk mounted in the center... So awesome! I'm definitely coming back to try other things on their main menu. They have a nice drink selection. It's very easy to spend a good $60+ here.

I brought my family and girlfriend for a nice dinner. We were there for more than 3 hours waiting for our food. It seemed like we had to literally grab the server for more drinks and everything seemed really disorganized. Our total tab was almost $500. For that kind of money at least competent serving and food wait times should be expected. We will not be back and I'm really sad that such a great bar in the front is done such a disservice by the restaurant.

The only spot in town that…read morereally captures that intimate, dimly lit ambiance with elevated cocktails and a tucked-away vibe that makes it feel special. It's cozy, moody, and perfect for date night or catching up with friends -- the kind of place where you actually want to linger. Troy is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about his craft. Half the time I don't even know what I'm in the mood for, so I'll just ask for a dealer's choice and let him surprise me. Somehow, he nails it every single time with something creative, balanced, and genuinely delicious. It's my favorite way to try something new without overthinking the menu. If you appreciate well-crafted cocktails and bartenders who truly know their spirits, this spot is a must in Folsom.

I was a loyal customer when I was a drug addict/ alcoholic. It was an almost every night thing; knowing to go to city slickers to get drunk and easily have access to drugs from either their staff, or someone the staff basically hired to do the work for them. Go to the bathroom, someone will be sniffing powder. Go there after hours, they all hang out and drink and do" extra curricular activities " Now 5 years happily clean and sober I won't let what happened to me here go unseen or unknown. And everyone at this bar knew or knows me. And that's not in a good or proud way. If I had a child I would not allow them to go to this bar. The fact its " a family bar " most your sales came from your drug dealers. No one actually likes the service. Unless you're one of their 60 and up club people, who like I said before they're there at the door right at opening for that first drink. ( my heart goes out to them) no people went there because they knew it was an easy place to do drugs. I'd know. I did it for years there. I take accountability for how I was. I wish they would do the same. The fact that people literally DIED. Let that sink in, DIED there. Should say enough. The comment she left " oh we didn't know what was going on" lady the undercover was there for 6 months. It's all documented. All accounted for. " oh my employees would never" well actually they will and unfortunately they did don't ruin or kill more people. Just stay shut down for the love of god you're exhausting.

Tim was an amazing server, the kids had a blast on the back patio, and the entire experience was fantastic.

There's three rooms/bar areas that each play different music and have a different vibe going on. The cover is typically $20 and they do have an atm on site you can use. One of the bars is cash only the others take card. Usually my friends and I go to the zombie room because the bartender there is super nice and makes really yummy fruity drinks. This room has tons of neon paint and funky decor, it's also where they have live music playing and an upstairs area you can sit in. The other areas are indoor/outdoor and they have seats outside on the front and back patio you can sit and smoke at. Depending on a lot of factors you might love it or might not. There's a big mix of people you'll meet here and there are some interesting individuals you'll meet. For the most part the music is decent, lots of space to dance, good drinks, and you can definitely make it more fun with a great group of people.

I personally go to the Zombie bar because the bartender always makes me the best fruity cocktails. I also like that there are various genres of music so you can choose to move around and hear different genres. It can feel a little dirty, but half of the bar is outside so that makes it more difficult to keep clean. Overall, I do enjoy the vibe of this bar and will continue to keep going with friends!

Food deals include half off all appetizers ("smaller") and tavern pizzas (flabreads). Specialty cocktails, wine, and beer are discounted a couple dollars and well drinks are nicely priced at $6. We came around 4:30pm and there was a lot of seating available. The hostess was welcoming and our server Evelyn was great. She had a chill and pleasant attitude and was very efficient with our requests. Kitchen was quick to bring out my poke nachos, and our combo pizza and chicken wings came within 10 minutes. My husband had to send his lemonade back because it was carbonated, but they fixed it right away and it was perfect. The poke nachos was stacked high with crispy wonton chips and diced raw tuna with a spicy aioli sauce throughout. The buffalo chicken wings were sauced just right and still a little crispy. I heard the server tell another patron they can do bbq sauce or naked if you do not want buffalo sauce. The flatbread pizza wasn't as crispy on the bottom as I'd like (probably because of all the toppings) but the edges of the crust were good with a nice chew/crispy ratio. Overall, food was delicious, and at half off, definitely worth it, Since there were only a few patrons in the restaurant at the time, it was fairly quiet, but I've been when it's packed, loud, and lively. Iron Horse Tavern is always a good choice for lunch, dinner, weekend brunch, and especially for Happy Hour!

I've watched many people seat themselves at tables and leave 10 minutes later because no one asked them what they wanted. Yes, the decor is stuck in the 90's, but I actually like it. The double smash burger I had was excellent. The bun they use is awesome and they charred the patty perfectly. It tasted way better than Fleming's Prime Steakhouse burger I had last week, that's for sure. The thick steak-cut fries are awesome, too. Over salted but nothing a cold beer can't cut through. Highly recommend their smash burger.

If it wasn't for this "mission," there's a good chance I wouldn't have wandered in. I LOVE Sutter Street, but honestly I don't live nearby and don't have many reasons to come here. That said, I'm thankful for the mission and glad I dropped by. It's a super cute place and the bartender had a nice relaxed chill vibe to her. This is where I'd normally drop her name and give her kudos - but I didn't get her name. I thought her name would be on the receipt, but it wasn't! I assume her name isn't "Shift Night N" anyway, which would be weird - but that's what is listed for "server". Anyway... the burger... I liked it. I liked it a lot. I was not asked how I wanted it cooked (not expected or demanded by me) - but an observation that I toss in for comparison purposes. It was cooked to a solid medium, which is fine with me. Caramelized onions were standard - nice - but the tomato and lettuce were listed as 'optional' - and the bartender (Shift Night N) asked me if I wanted them. I opted in. The bun was above average - definitely a notch above the typical mass-produced buns often used elsewhere. I opted for sweet potato fries. They had good flavor. Personal preference-wise... I would have liked them to be cooked a smidge more. If/when I come back, I'll probably ask them to be crispy-er. Overall, thumbs up! I wouldn't hesitate to come back and try other things on the menu. #burgers
